by Nostradamus

LXXXIX.

French.

Tous ceux d’Illerde seront dans la Moselle,

Mettant a mort tous ceux de Loire & Seine,

Le course Marin viendra pres d’Hautevelle,

Quand Espagnols ouvrira toute veine.

English.

All those of Illerde shall be in the Mosel,

Putting to death all those of Loire and Seine,

The Sea course shall come near Hautevelle,

When the Spaniard shall open all veins.

ANNOT.

By Illerde he meaneth the City of l’Isle in Flanders, the Mosel is a River that runneth through Lorrain, the Loire and Seine are two other Rivers of France, the first of which passeth at Orleans, and the second at Paris; the two last Verses are too hard for me to interpret.
